BACKGROUND Field

Embodiments relate to an anti-glare hard coat laminated film. More specifically, embodiments relate to an anti-glare hard coat laminated film preferably having excellent abrasion resistance.

Description of Related Art

In recent years, a car navigation apparatus equipped with a touch panel installed on an image display apparatus such as a liquid crystal display, a plasma display, or an electroluminescence display and capable inputting by touching the touch panel with a finger, a pen, or the like while watching a displayed object, has become popular.

In a car navigation apparatus, a plastic display face plate is often used, or a scattering-preventive film is often pasted on a surface of a glass display face plate in order to impart a high level of impact resistance and crack resistance from a viewpoint of safety in a case of a traffic accident. In addition, an anti-glare property is imparted to an image display apparatus of a car navigation apparatus in order to address a problem that light from the outside is incident on a screen and this light is reflected to make it difficult to see a displayed image. Generally, the anti-glare property is imparted by pasting an anti-glare hard coat laminated film on a surface of a plastic display face plate or by forming an anti-glare hard coat on a surface of a scattering-preventive film.

Many proposals have been made as an anti-glare hard coat laminated film (for example, JP 2010-211150 A). However, considering the fact that a car navigation apparatus is equipped with a touch panel, abrasion resistance thereof is insufficient. Therefore, an anti-glare hard coat laminated film capable of maintaining surface characteristics such as finger slidability even after repeated wipes with a handkerchief or the like has been required.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

An anti-glare hard coat laminated film according to at least one embodiment includes, in order from a surface layer side, a first hard coat and a transparent resin film layer. The anti-glare hard coat laminated film according to at least one embodiment preferably includes, in order from a surface layer side, a first hard coat, a second hard coat, and a transparent resin film layer.

The “surface layer side” referred to herein means a side closer to an outer surface (a visible surface in a case of a display face plate) when an article formed of an anti-glare hard coat laminated film is used on site. In addition, herein, disposing one layer on a “surface layer side” of another layer includes that these layers are in direct contact with each other and that another single layer or a plurality of other layers is interposed therebetween.

First Hard Coat

The first hard coat usually forms a surface of the anti-glare hard coat laminated film according to at least one embodiment. When the anti-glare hard coat laminated film according to at least one embodiment is used as a member of an image display apparatus having a touch panel function, the first hard coat usually forms a touch surface. The first hard coat exhibits a good anti-glare property, preferably good abrasion resistance, and can maintain surface characteristics such as finger slidability even after repeated wipes with a handkerchief or the like.

The first hard coat is formed of a coating material not containing inorganic particles. The first hard coat is preferably formed of a coating material including (A) 100 parts by mass of a polyfunctional (meth)acrylate, (B) 0.01 to 7 parts by mass of a water repellent, (C) 0.01 to 10 parts by mass of a silane coupling agent, and (D) 0.1 to 10 parts by mass of resin microparticles having an average particle diameter of 0.5 to 10 μm, and containing no inorganic particles.

The term “inorganic particles” referred to herein means particles not including particles formed of an organic substance (i.e. a substance which can generate water and carbon dioxide by combustion).

The inorganic particles (for example, silica (silicon dioxide); metal oxide particles of aluminum oxide, zirconia, titania, zinc oxide, germanium oxide, indium oxide, tin oxide, indium tin oxide, antimony oxide, cerium oxide, or the like; metal fluoride particles of magnesium fluoride, sodium fluoride, or the like; metal sulfide particles; metal nitride particles; and metal particles) are highly effective in enhancing hardness of a hard coat. In addition, the inorganic particles having an appropriate particle diameter can improve an anti-glare property. On the other hand, an interaction between the inorganic particles and a resin component such as component (A) is weak, resulting in insufficient abrasion resistance. Therefore, the present invention has solved this problem by using resin microparticles not containing inorganic particles as particles for improving an anti-glare property in the first hard coat forming a surface to retain abrasion resistance, and allowing the second hard coat to preferably contain a specific amount of inorganic particles having an average particle diameter of 1 to 300 nm to enhance hardness.

Here, “containing no” inorganic particles means not containing a significant amount of inorganic particles. In the field of a hard coat forming coating material, the significant amount of inorganic particles is usually about 0.1 part by mass or more relative to 100 parts by mass of component (A) from a viewpoint of imparting an anti-glare property. Therefore, “containing no” inorganic particles can be paraphrased as follows. That is, the amount of inorganic particles is usually 0 part by mass or more and usually less than 0.1 part by mass, preferably 0.05 parts by mass or less, and more preferably 0.01 part by mass or less relative to 100 parts by mass of component (A).

(A) Polyfunctional (Meth)Acrylate

The polyfunctional (meth)acrylate of component (A) is a (meth)acrylate having two or more (meth)acryloyl groups in one molecule. This component has two or more (meth)acryloyl groups in one molecule, and therefore acts to form a hard coat through polymerization and curing with an active energy ray such as an ultraviolet ray or an electron beam.

The polyfunctional (meth)acrylate of component (A) is distinguished from the resin microparticles of component (D) having an average particle diameter of 0.5 to 10 μm (the resin includes a polyfunctional (meth)acrylate) in that the polyfunctional (meth)acrylate of component (A) is not used in a form of microparticles unlike the resin microparticles of component (D).

Examples of the polyfunctional (meth)acrylate include a (meth)acryloyl group-containing bifunctional reactive monomer such as diethylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, neopentyl glycol di(meth)acrylate, 1,6-hexanediol di(meth)acrylate, polyethylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, 2,2′-bis(4-(meth)acryloyloxypolyethyleneoxyphenyl) propane, or 2,2′-bis(4-(meth)acryloyloxypolypropyleneoxyphenyl) propane; a (meth)acryloyl group-containing trifunctional reactive monomer such as trimethylolpropane tri(meth)acrylate, trimethylolethane tri(meth)acrylate, or pentaerythritol tri(meth)acrylate; a (meth)acryloyl group-containing tetrafunctional reactive monomer such as pentaerythritol tetra(meth)acrylate; a (meth)acryloyl group-containing hexafunctional reactive monomer such as dipentaerythritol hexaacrylate; a (meth)acryloyl group-containing octafunctional reactive monomer such as tripentaerythritol acrylate; and a polymer (oligomer and prepolymer) containing one or more kinds thereof as constituent monomers. As the polyfunctional (meth)acrylate of component (A), these compounds can be used singly or in a mixture of two or more kinds thereof.

It should be noted that a (meth)acrylate herein means an acrylate or a methacrylate.

(B) Water Repellent

The water repellent of component (B) enhances finger slidability, resistance to fouling deposition, and wipeability against fouling.

Examples of the water repellent include a wax water repellent such as a paraffin wax, a polyethylene wax, or an acrylate-ethylene copolymer wax; a silicone water repellent such as a silicone oil, a silicone resin, a polydimethylsiloxane, or an alkylalkoxysilane; and a fluorine-containing water repellent such as a fluoropolyether water repellent or a fluoropolyalkyl water repellent. As the water repellent of component (B), these compounds can be used singly or in a mixture of two or more kinds thereof.

Among these compounds, a fluoropolyether water repellent is preferable as the water repellent of component (B) from a viewpoint of water repellency. A water repellent including a compound having a (meth)acryloyl group and a fluoropolyether group in a molecule (hereinafter, abbreviated as a (meth)acryloyl group-containing fluoropolyether water repellent) is more preferable as the water repellent of component (B) from a viewpoint of preventing a trouble such as bleed-out of component (B) because of a chemical bond or a strong interaction between the polyfunctional (meth)acrylate of component (A) and component (B). An admixture of an acryloyl group-containing fluoropolyether water repellent and a methacryloyl group-containing fluoropolyether water repellent is still more preferable as the water repellent of component (B) from a viewpoint of appropriately controlling a chemical bond or an interaction between the polyfunctional (meth)acrylate of component (A) and the water repellent of component (B) to exhibit good water repellency while keeping high transparency.

It should be noted that the (meth)acryloyl group-containing fluoropolyether water repellent is clearly distinguished from component (A) by the presence or absence of a fluoropolyether group in a molecule. Here, a compound having two or more (meth)acryloyl groups and a fluoropolyether group in one molecule is a (meth)acryloyl group-containing fluoropolyether water repellent, which is component (B). That is, a compound having a fluoropolyether group is excluded from definition of the polyfunctional (meth)acrylate of component (A).

The blending amount of the water repellent of component (B) is usually 7 parts by mass or less, preferably 4 parts by mass or less, and more preferably 2 parts by mass or less relative to 100 parts by mass of the polyfunctional (meth)acrylate of component (A) from a viewpoint of preventing a trouble such as bleed-out of component (B). At the same time, the blending amount of the water repellent of component (B) is usually 0.01 part by mass or more, preferably 0.05 parts by mass or more, and more preferably 0.1 part by mass or more from a viewpoint of obtaining an effect of use of the water repellent of component (B). The blending amount of the water repellent may be usually 0.01 part by mass or more and 7 part by mass or less, preferably 0.01 part by mass or more and 4 parts by mass or less, or 0.01 part by mass or more and 2 parts by mass or less, preferably 0.05 parts by mass or more and 7 parts by mass or less, 0.05 parts by mass or more and 4 parts by mass or less, or 0.05 parts by mass or more and 2 parts by mass or less, or preferably 0.1 part by mass or more and 7 parts by mass or less, 0.1 part by mass or more and 4 parts by mass or less, or 0.1 part by mass or more and 2 parts by mass or less relative to 100 parts by mass of the polyfunctional (meth)acrylate of component (A).

(C) Silane Coupling Agent

The silane coupling agent of component (C) acts to enhance adhesiveness between the first hard coat and the transparent resin film or the second hard coat.

The silane coupling agent is a silane compound having at least two kinds of different reactive groups selected from a hydrolyzable group (for example, an alkoxy group such as a methoxy group and an ethoxy group; an acyloxy group such as an acetoxy group; or a halogen group such as a chloro group) and an organic functional group (for example, an amino group, a mercapto group, a vinyl group, an epoxy group, a methacryloxy group, an acryloxy group, or an isocyanate group). Among these compounds, a silane coupling agent having an amino group (i.e. a silane compound having an amino group and a hydrolyzable group) and a silane coupling agent having a mercapto group (i.e. a silane compound having a mercapto group and a hydrolyzable group) are preferable as the silane coupling agent of component (C) from a viewpoint of adhesiveness. A silane coupling agent having an amino group is more preferable from a viewpoint of adhesiveness and odor.

Examples of the silane coupling agent having an amino group include N-2-(aminoethyl)-3-aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane, N-2-(aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, N-2-(aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, 3-triethoxysilyl-N-(1,3-dimethyl-butylidene) propylamine, N-phenyl-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, and N-(vinylbenzyl)-2-aminoethyl-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane.

Examples of the silane coupling agent having a mercapto group include 3-mercaptopropylmethyldimethoxysilane and 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane.

As the silane coupling agent of component (C), these compounds can be used singly or in a mixture of two or more kinds thereof.

The blending amount of the silane coupling agent of component (C) is usually 0.01 part by mass or more, preferably 0.05 parts by mass or more, and more preferably 0.1 part by mass or more relative to 100 parts by mass of the polyfunctional (meth)acrylate of component (A) from a viewpoint of obtaining an adhesiveness-enhancing effect reliably. At the same time, the blending amount of the silane coupling agent of component (C) may be usually 10 parts by mass or less, preferably 5 parts by mass or less, and more preferably 1 part by mass or less from a viewpoint of a pot life of a coating material. The blending amount of the silane coupling agent may be usually 0.01 part by mass or more and 10 part by mass or less, preferably 0.01 part by mass or more and 5 parts by mass or less, or 0.01 part by mass or more and 1 part by mass or less, preferably 0.05 parts by mass or more and 10 parts by mass or less, 0.05 parts by mass or more and 5 parts by mass or less, or 0.05 parts by mass or more and 1 part by mass or less, or preferably 0.1 part by mass or more and 10 parts by mass or less, 0.1 part by mass or more and 5 parts by mass or less, or 0.1 part by mass or more and 1 part by mass or less relative to 100 parts by mass of the polyfunctional (meth)acrylate of component (A).

It should be noted the blending amount of the silane coupling agent of component (C) in any usual or preferable range referred to herein can be combined with the blending amount of the water repellent of component (B) in any usual or preferable range referred to above.

(D) Resin Microparticles Having an Average Particle Diameter of 0.5 to 10 μm

The resin microparticles of component (D) act to impart an anti-glare property to the anti-glare hard coat laminated film according to at least one embodiment, and makes a display image visible even when light from the outside is incident on a screen of an image display apparatus and this light is reflected.

Examples of the resin microparticles include resin microparticles of a silicon-based resin (silicone resin), a styrene resin, an acrylic resin, a fluorine resin, a polycarbonate resin, an ethylene resin, and a cured resin of an amino compound and formaldehyde. Among these compounds, microparticles of a silicone resin, an acrylic resin, and a fluorine resin are preferable from a viewpoint of low specific gravity, lubricity, dispersibility, and solvent resistance. Truly spherical resin microparticles are preferable from a viewpoint of improving light diffusibility. As the resin microparticles, these compounds can be used singly or in a mixture of two or more kinds thereof. The resin microparticles may be at least one selected from the group consisting of silicone resin, acrylic resin, and fluorine resin microparticles. In addition, the resin microparticles may be at least one selected from the group consisting of silicone resin and acrylic resin microparticles.

The average particle diameter of the resin microparticles of component (D) is usually 0.5 μm or more, and preferably 1 μm or more from a viewpoint of reliably obtaining an anti-glare property. At the same time, the average particle diameter of the resin microparticles of component (D) is usually 10 μm or less, and preferably 6 μm or less from a viewpoint of retaining transparency of a hard coat. The average particle diameter of the resin microparticles of component (D) may be usually 0.5 μm or more and 10 μm or less, and preferably 0.5 μm or more and 6 μm or less, 1 μm or more and 10 μm or less, or 1 μm or more and 6 μm or less.

The resin microparticles of component (D) are preferably spherical, and more preferably truly spherical from a viewpoint of improving light diffusibility. The fact that the resin microparticles of component (D) are truly spherical means that the sphericity of the particles may be preferably 0.90 or more, and more preferably 0.95 or more. The sphericity is a measure for indicating how spherical a particle is. The sphericity referred to herein is obtained by dividing a surface area of a sphere having the same volume as a particle by a surface area of the particle, and can be represented by ψ=(6 Vp)^(2/3)π^(1/3)/Ap. Here, Vp represents a particle volume, and Ap represents a particle surface area. The sphericity is 1 for a spherical particle.

The thickness of the transparent resin film may be usually 20 μm or more, and preferably 50 μm or more from a viewpoint of handleability of the anti-glare hard coat laminated film according to at least one embodiment. When the anti-glare hard coat laminated film according to at least one embodiment is used for an application not requiring high rigidity, the thickness of the film may be usually 250 μm or less, and preferably 150 μm or less from a viewpoint of economic efficiency. Therefore, in such an application, the thickness of the transparent resin film may be preferably 20 μm or more and 250 μm or less, 20 μm or more and 150 μm or less, 50 μm or more and 250 μm or less, or 50 μm or more and 150 μm or less.

In addition, the thickness of the transparent resin film may be usually 1500 μm or less, preferably 1200 μm or less, and more preferably 1000 μm or less from a viewpoint of meeting a requirement for a thinner apparatus.

It should be noted that the thickness of the transparent resin film in any preferable range referred to herein can be combined with the thickness(es) of the first hard coat and/or the second hard coat in any preferable range referred to above.

The transparent resin film is preferably a transparent resin film of an acrylic resin.

Examples of the acrylic resin include a (meth)acrylate (co)polymer, a copolymer containing a structural unit derived from a (meth)acrylate, and a modified product thereof. The term (meth)acrylic herein means acrylic or methacrylic. The term (co)polymer means a polymer or a copolymer.

Examples of the (meth)acrylate (co)polymer include polymethyl (meth)acrylate, polyethyl (meth)acrylate, polypropyl (meth)acrylate, polybutyl (meth)acrylate, a methyl (meth)acrylate-butyl (meth)acrylate copolymer, and an ethyl (meth)acrylate-butyl (meth)acrylate copolymer.

Examples of the transparent resin film of an acrylic resin include a film formed of one kind thereof or a mixture of two or more kinds thereof. The transparent resin film of an acrylic resin includes a laminated film obtained by laminating two or more layers of one or more kinds thereof.

The transparent resin film is more preferably a film of a vinylcyclohexane-methyl (meth)acrylate copolymer. By using such a transparent resin film, an anti-glare hard coat laminated film which is excellent in surface hardness, abrasion resistance, transparency, surface smoothness, appearance, rigidity, and moisture resistance is obtained, and can be used suitably for a display face plate of a touch panel.

The transparent resin film is more preferably a poly(meth)acrylimide resin film. By using such a transparent resin film, an anti-glare hard coat laminated film which is excellent in surface hardness, abrasion resistance, transparency, surface smoothness, appearance, rigidity, heat resistance, and heat resistant dimensional stability is obtained, and can be used suitably for a display face plate of a touch panel or a transparent conductive substrate.

The poly(meth)acrylimide resin is a thermoplastic resin obtained by introducing characteristics of excellent heat resistance and excellent dimensional stability derived from a polyimide resin and overcoming a drawback of being colored from pale yellow to reddish brown while high transparency, high surface hardness, and high rigidity derived from an acrylic resin are retained. Such a poly(meth)acrylimide resin is disclosed in JP 2011-519999 A, for example. It should be noted that the term poly(meth)acrylimide herein means a polyacrylimide or a polymethacrylimide.

The poly(meth)acrylimide resin is not limited as long as having high transparency and being not colored for the purpose of using a hard coat laminated film for a member of a screen display apparatus, and any poly(meth)acrylimide resin can be used.

The glass transition temperature of the poly(meth)acrylimide resin is preferably 150° C. or higher from a viewpoint of heat resistance. The glass transition temperature is more preferably 170° C. or higher.

Commercially available examples of the poly(meth)acrylimide resin include “PLEXIMID TT50” (trade name) and “PLEXIMID TT70” (trade name) available from Evonik Industries AG.

The yellowness index (measured according to JIS K7105:1981 using a chromaticity meter “SolidSpec-3700” (trade name) available from Shimadzu Corporation) of the acrylic resin is preferably 3 or less, more preferably 2 or less, and still more preferably 1 or less. By using an acrylic resin having a yellowness index of 3 or less, it is possible to obtain an anti-glare hard coat laminated film which can be suitably used as a member of an image display apparatus. A lower yellowness index is more preferable.

The melt mass flow rate (measured under the conditions of 260° C. and 98.07 N according to ISO 1133) of the acrylic resin is preferably from 0.1 to 20 g/10 min, and more preferably from 0.5 to 10 g/10 min. from a viewpoint of an extrusion load or stability of a melted film.

The acrylic resin can further include, within a range not contrary to an object according to at least one embodiment, a thermoplastic resin other than the acrylic resin; a pigment, an inorganic filler, an organic filler, and a resin filler; an additive such as a lubricant, an antioxidant, a weather resistance stabilizer, a heat stabilizer, a release agent, an antistatic agent, or a surfactant; or the like, as desired. The blending amount of the optional component(s) is usually about from 0.01 to 10 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the acrylic resin.

The transparent resin film is more preferably a transparent multilayer film obtained by sequentially laminating a first acrylic resin layer (α1), an aromatic polycarbonate resin layer (β), and a second acrylic resin layer (α2) directly in this order. A preferable specific example of the transparent resin film is a transparent multilayer film obtained by sequentially laminating the first poly(meth)acrylimide resin layer (α1), the aromatic polycarbonate resin layer (β), and the second poly(meth)acrylimide resin layer (α2) directly in this order. Incidentally, here, when the hard coat laminated film is used as a member of an image display apparatus having a touch panel function, the present invention is described by assuming that a touch surface is formed on a side of the α1 layer.

The acrylic resin has excellent surface hardness, but tends to have insufficient cutting processability. Meanwhile, the aromatic polycarbonate resin has excellent cutting processability, but tends to have insufficient surface hardness. Therefore, use of a transparent multilayer film having the above layer configuration makes it possible to easily obtain an anti-glare hard coat laminated film having both excellent surface hardness and excellent cutting processability by compensating for the drawbacks of the two resins. In addition, in the transparent multilayer film having the above layer configuration, use of a poly(meth)acrylimide resin as an acrylic resin for the acrylic resin layers in particular makes it possible to easily obtain an anti-glare hard coat laminated film which is all excellent in heat resistance, surface hardness, and cutting processability.

The layer thickness of the α1 layer is not particularly limited, but may be usually 20 μm or more, preferably 40 μm or more, more preferably 60 μm or more, and still more preferably 80 μm or more from a viewpoint of surface hardness of the anti-glare hard coat laminated film according to at least one embodiment.

The layer thickness of the α2 layer is not particularly limited, but is preferably the same layer thickness as the α1 layer from a viewpoint of curling resistance of the anti-glare hard coat laminated film according to at least one embodiment.

“The same layer thickness” referred to herein should not be interpreted to be the same layer thickness in a physicochemically strict sense of the word. It should be interpreted to be the same layer thickness within a variation in a process/quality control usually performed industrially. The reason is that curling resistance of a multilayer film can be kept good when the layer thicknesses are the same within a variation in a process/quality control usually performed industrially. An unstretched multilayer film obtained by a T-die co-extrusion method is usually subjected to a process/quality control within a variation of about −5 to +5 μm, and therefore the layer thickness of 65 μm and the layer thickness of 75 μm should be interpreted to be identical. “The same layer thickness” here can be paraphrased as “substantially the same layer thickness”.

The layer thickness of the β layer is not particularly limited, but may be usually 20 μm or more, and preferably 80 μm or more from a viewpoint of cutting processability of the anti-glare hard coat laminated film according to at least one embodiment.

As an acrylic resin for the α1 layer and the α2 layer, those described above can be used.

For an acrylic resin used for the α1 layer and an acrylic resin used for the α2 layer, acrylic resins having different resin characteristics, for example, having different kinds, melt mass flow rates, or glass transition temperatures may be used. Acrylic resins having the same resin characteristic are preferably used from a viewpoint of curling resistance of the anti-glare hard coat laminated film according to at least one embodiment. Use of acrylic resins in the same grade and in the same lot is one of preferable embodiments, for example.

As the aromatic polycarbonate resin used for the β layer, for example, it is possible to use one kind or a mixture of two or more kinds of aromatic polycarbonate resins such as a polymer obtained by an interfacial polymerization method for an aromatic dihydroxy compound such as bisphenol A, dimethyl bisphenol A, or 1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexane and phosgene; and a polymer obtained by a transesterification reaction between an aromatic dihydroxy compound such as bisphenol A, dimethyl bisphenol A, or 1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexane and a carbonate diester such as diphenyl carbonate.

Preferable examples of optional components which can be contained in the aromatic polycarbonate resin include a core-shell rubber. By using the core-shell rubber in an amount of 0 to 30 parts by mass of (100 to 70 parts by mass of the aromatic polycarbonate resin), preferably in an amount of 0 to 10 parts by mass (100 to 90 parts by mass of the aromatic polycarbonate resin) relative to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the aromatic polycarbonate resin and the core-shell rubber, cutting processability and impact resistance of the transparent resin film can be further enhanced.

Examples of the core-shell rubber include core-shell rubbers formed of a methacrylate-styrene/butadiene rubber graft copolymer, an acrylonitrile-styrene/butadiene rubber graft copolymer, an acrylonitrile-styrene/ethylene-propylene rubber graft copolymer, an acrylonitrile-styrene/acrylate graft copolymer, a methacrylate/acrylate rubber graft copolymer, and a methacrylate-acrylonitrile/acrylate rubber graft copolymer. As the core-shell rubber, these compounds can be used singly or in a mixture of two or more kinds thereof.

The aromatic polycarbonate resin can further include, within a range not contrary to an object according to at least one embodiment, a thermoplastic resin other than the aromatic polycarbonate resin and the core-shell rubber; a pigment, an inorganic filler, an organic filler, and a resin filler; an additive such as a lubricant, an antioxidant, a weather resistance stabilizer, a heat stabilizer, a release agent, an antistatic agent, or a surfactant; or the like, as desired. The blending amount of the optional component(s) is usually about from 0.01 to 10 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the aromatic polycarbonate resin and the core-shell rubber.

A method for manufacturing the transparent resin film is not particularly limited. When the transparent resin film is a poly(meth)acrylimide resin film, preferable examples of a method for manufacturing the poly(meth)acrylimide resin film include a method described in JP 2015-033844 A. When the transparent resin film is a transparent multilayer film obtained by sequentially laminating the first acrylic resin layer (α1), the aromatic polycarbonate resin layer (β), and the second acrylic resin layer (α2) directly in this order, preferable examples of a method for manufacturing the transparent multilayer film include a method described in JP 2015-083370 A. In forming a hard coat, a hard coat forming surface or both surfaces of the transparent resin film may be subjected to an adhesion-facilitating treatment such as a corona discharge treatment or anchor coat formation in advance in order to enhance adhesion strength to the hard coat.

The anti-glare hard coat laminated film according to at least one embodiment preferably includes, in order from a surface layer side, the first hard coat, the second hard coat, the transparent resin film layer, and a third hard coat. The third hard coat formed allows a force to curl the anti-glare hard coat laminated film in one direction (hereinafter, also abbreviated as a curling force) and a force to curl the anti-glare hard coat laminated film in another direction to work simultaneously. By allowing these two curling forces to be canceled to be zero, occurrence of curling can be suppressed.

In recent years, for the purpose of weight reduction of an image display apparatus, a touch panel having a bilayer structure in which a touch sensor is directly formed on a back side of a display face plate (so-called one-glass-solution) has been proposed. In addition, one-plastic-solution substituted for the so-called one-glass-solution has been also proposed for the purpose of further weight reduction. When the anti-glare hard coat laminated film according to at least one embodiment is used for the one-plastic-solution substituted for the so-called one-glass-solution, the third hard coat formed easily imparts characteristics suitable for a printed surface.

The components and the thickness of the third hard coat are not particularly limited as long as the two curling forces can be canceled. For the components and the thickness of the third hard coat, those described above for the second hard coat may be used.

The anti-glare hard coat laminated film according to at least one embodiment may include an optional layer(s) other than the first hard coat, the second hard coat, the transparent resin film layer, and the third hard coat, as desired. Examples of the optional layer include a hard coat other than the first to third hard coats, an anchor coat, a pressure-sensitive adhesive agent layer, a transparent conductive layer, a high refractive index layer, a low refractive index layer, and a reflection-preventive layer.

FIG. 1 is a conceptual cross-sectional view exemplifying the anti-glare hard coat laminated film according to at least one embodiment. This exemplary anti-glare hard coat laminated film sequentially includes, from a touch surface side, a first hard coat 1, a second hard coat 2, a first poly(meth)acrylimide resin layer (α1) 3, an aromatic polycarbonate resin layer (β) 4, a second poly(meth)acrylimide resin layer (α2) 5, and a third hard coat 6.

Due to the total light transmission rate of 85% or more, the anti-glare hard coat laminated film according to at least one embodiment can be suitably used as a member of an image display apparatus. A higher total light transmission rate is more preferable.

In the anti-glare hard coat laminated film according to at least one embodiment, a Y value of an XYZ color system based on a 2 degree visual field (measured under conditions of 5° specular reflection (a reflecting unit is disposed in front of an integrating sphere, and a value of specular reflection eliminating diffused light is obtained) using a spectrophotometer “SolidSpec-3700” (trade name) and a reflecting unit “absolute reflectance measuring apparatus incident angle 5°” (trade name) available from Shimadzu Corporation according to a manual of the spectrophotometer) is usually 4.2% or less, preferably 3.0% or less, and more preferably 2.8% or less from a viewpoint of an anti-glare property. At the same time, the Y value of the XYZ color system is usually 1.5% or more, and preferably 2.0% or more from a viewpoint of preventing a displayed image from becoming chalky. Furthermore, the Y value of the XYZ color system may be preferably 1.5% or more and 4.2% or less, and more preferably 1.5% or more and 3.0% or less, 1.5% or more and 2.8% or less, 2.0% or more and 4.2% or less, 2.0% or more and 3.0% or less, or 2.0% or more and 2.8% or less.

In the anti-glare hard coat laminated film according to at least one embodiment, the haze may be usually 3% or more, and preferably 5% or more (measured with a turbidimeter “NDH 2000” (trade name) available from Nippon Denshoku Industries Co., Ltd. according to JIS K7136:2000) from a viewpoint of an anti-glare property, although depending on the level of an anti-glare property to be imparted. At the same time, the haze may be usually 30% or less, and preferably 25% or less from a viewpoint of preventing a displayed image from becoming chalky. Furthermore, the haze may be preferably 3% or more and 30% or less, more preferably 3% or more and 25% or less, 5% or more and 30% or less, or 5% or more and 25% or less.

In the anti-glare hard coat laminated film according to at least one embodiment, the pencil hardness on the first hard coat surface is preferably 5 H or more, more preferably 6 H or more, and still more preferably 7 H or more (measured with a pencil “UNI” (trade name) available from Mitsubishi Pencil Co., Ltd. under a condition of a load of 750 g according to JIS K5600-5-4). Due to the pencil hardness of 5 H or more on the first hard coat surface, the anti-glare hard coat laminated film according to at least one embodiment can be suitably used as a member of an image display apparatus. A higher pencil hardness on the first hard coat surface is more preferable.

In the anti-glare hard coat laminated film according to at least one embodiment, preferably, the total light transmission rate is 85% or more, 88% or more, 89% or more, or 90% or more, the pencil hardness on the first hard coat surface is 5 H or more, 6 H or more, or 7 or more, and the Y value of the XYZ color system is 1.5% or more and 4.2% or less, 1.5% or more and 3.0% or less, 1.5% or more and 2.8% or less, 2.0% or more and 4.2% or less, 2.0% or more and 3.0% or less, or 2.0% or more and 2.8% or less. That is, any combination of the ranges of these three parameters (any “combination” as a mathematical term) is preferable. For example, preferably, the total light transmission rate is 88% or more, the pencil hardness on the first hard coat surface is 6 H or more, and the Y value of the XYZ color system is 1.5% or more and 3.0% or less. In addition, for example, preferably, the total light transmission rate is 89% or more, the pencil hardness on the first hard coat surface is 7 or more, and the Y value of the XYZ color system is 1.5% or more and 2.8% or less.

The anti-glare hard coat laminated film according to at least one embodiment has a minimum bending radius of preferably 40 mm or less, more preferably 35 mm or less, still more preferably 30 mm or less. Due to the minimum bending radius of 40 mm or less, the anti-glare hard coat laminated film according to at least one embodiment can be easily handled as a film roll, and this makes a manufacturing efficiency or the like advantageous. A smaller minimum bending radius is more preferable. Here, the minimum bending radius is a value measured according to a test (v) in Examples described below.

It should be noted that the minimum bending radius is a minimum radius capable of bending an anti-glare hard coat laminated film with no crack generated on a surface of a bent portion when the anti-glare hard coat laminated film is bent, and indicates a limit against bending. A bending radius is defined in a similar manner to a radius of curvature.

The radius of curvature is defined as follows with reference to FIG. 2. When a length from a point M to a point N in a curve is denoted as ΔS; a difference between a slope of a tangent line at the point M and a slope of a tangent line at the point N is denoted as Δα; and an intersection of a line which is perpendicular to the tangent line at the point M and intersects with the tangent line at the point M and a line which is perpendicular to the tangent line at the point N and intersects with the tangent line at the point N is denoted as O, in a case where ΔS is sufficiently small, a curve from the point M to the point N can be approximated to an arc (FIG. 2). The radius in this case is defined as the radius of curvature. Furthermore, when the radius of curvature is denoted as R, ∠MON=Δα is satisfied. In a case where ΔS is sufficiently small, Act is also sufficiently small, and therefore ΔS=RΔα is satisfied. As a result, R=ΔS/Δα is satisfied.

In the anti-glare hard coat laminated film according to at least one embodiment, the water contact angle at the first hard coat surface is preferably 100° or more, and more preferably 105° or more. When the anti-glare hard coat laminated film according to at least one embodiment is used as a member of a display apparatus having a touch panel function, the first hard coat normally forms a touch surface. Due to the water contact angle of 100° or more at the first hard coat surface, a touch panel can be operated by sliding a finger or a pen on a touch surface according to one's own will. A higher water contact angle is more preferable from a viewpoint of sliding a finger or a pen according to one's own will. The upper limit of the water contact angle is not particularly specified, but about 120° is usually sufficient from a viewpoint of finger slidability. Here, the water contact angle is a value measured according to a test (vi) in Examples described below.

In the anti-glare hard coat laminated film according to at least one embodiment, the water contact angle at the first hard coat surface after 7,500 reciprocating wipes with a cotton is preferably 100° or more. More preferably, the water contact angle after 10,000 reciprocating wipes with a cotton is 100° or more. Due to the water contact angle of 100° or more after 7,500 reciprocating wipes with a cotton, a surface characteristic such as finger slidability can be maintained even after repeated wipes with a handkerchief or the like.

Due to the yellowness index of 3 or less, the anti-glare hard coat laminated film according to at least one embodiment can be suitably used as a member of an image display apparatus. A lower yellowness index is more preferable.

Manufacturing Method

A method for manufacturing the anti-glare hard coat laminated film according to at least one embodiment is not particularly limited, but any method can be used.

For example, from a viewpoint of adhesiveness between the first hard coat and the second hard coat, a preferable manufacturing method includes: (1) a step of forming a wet coat of the second hard coat forming coating material on the transparent resin film; (2) a step of irradiating the wet coat of the second hard coat forming coating material with an active energy ray at an integrated amount of light of 1 to 230 mJ/cm², preferably 5 to 200 mJ/cm², more preferably 10 to 160 mJ/cm², still more preferably 20 to 120 mJ/cm², most preferably 30 to 100 mJ/cm², and converting the wet coat of the second hard coat forming coating material into a coat in a set-to-touch state; (3) a step of forming a wet coat of the first hard coat forming coating material on the coat of the second hard coat forming coating material in a set-to-touch state; and (4) a step of preheating the wet coat of the first hard coat forming coating material to a temperature of 30 to 100° C., preferably 40 to 85° C., more preferably 50 to 75° C., and irradiating the wet coat with an active energy ray at an integrated amount of light of 240 to 10000 mJ/cm², preferably 320 to 5000 mJ/cm², more preferably 360 to 2000 mJ/cm².

In the step (1), a method for forming the wet coat of the second hard coat forming coating material is not particularly limited, but a known web applying method can be used. Examples of the web applying method include roll coating, gravure coating, reverse coating, roll brushing, spray coating, air knife coating, and die coating.

The wet coat of the second hard coat forming coating material formed in the step (1) is in a set-to-touch state or in a state with no tackiness in the step (2), causing no problem in handling such as sticking even in direct contact with a web apparatus. Therefore, in the subsequent step (3), a wet coat of the first hard coat forming coating material can be formed on the coat of the second hard coat forming coating material in a set-to-touch state.

It should be noted that here, the clause “a coat is in a set-to-touch state (in a state with no tackiness)” means that a coat is in a state in which, even when the coat directly comes into contact with a web apparatus, no problem in handling occurs.

Irradiation with an active energy ray in the step (2) is performed such that the integrated amount of light is usually 1 mJ/cm² or more, preferably 5 mJ/cm² or more, more preferably 10 mJ/cm² or more, still more preferably 20 mJ/cm² or more, and most preferably 30 mJ/cm² or more from a viewpoint of converting the coat into a coat in a set-to-touch state reliably, although depending on characteristics of a coating material used as the second hard coat forming coating material. At the same time, the irradiation is performed such that the integrated amount of light is usually 230 mJ/cm² or less, preferably 200 mJ/cm² or less, more preferably 160 mJ/cm² or less, still more preferably 120 mJ/cm² or less, and most preferably 100 mJ/cm² or less from a viewpoint of adhesiveness between the first hard coat and the second hard coat.

The wet coat of the second hard coat forming coating material is preferably predried before the irradiation with an active energy ray in the step (2). Predrying described above can be performed by causing a web to pass through a drying furnace set at a temperature of about 23 to 150° C., preferably 50 to 120° C. at a line speed such that the time required to pass from the inlet to the outlet is about from 0.5 to 10 minutes and preferably from 1 to 5 minutes, for example.

When the irradiation with an active energy ray is performed in the step (2), the wet coat of the second hard coat forming coating material may be preheated to a temperature of 40 to 120° C., preferably 70 to 100° C. This can convert the coat into a coat in a set-to-touch state reliably. A method for preheating described above is not particularly limited, but any method can be used. Specific examples of the method will be explained below in the description of the step (4).

In the step (3), a method for forming the wet coat of the first hard coat forming coating material is not particularly limited, but a known web applying method can be used. Examples of the web applying method include roll coating, gravure coating, reverse coating, roll brushing, spray coating, air knife coating, and die coating.

The wet coat of the first hard coat forming coating material formed in the step (3) is completely cured in the step (4). At the same time, the coat of the second hard coat forming coating material is also completely cured.

The above method can enhance adhesiveness between the first hard coat and the second hard coat, and without wishing to be bound by any theory it is presumed that the reason is that complete curing is simultaneously achieved for both the hard coats by limiting the integrated amount of light in irradiation with an active energy ray to an amount adequate to convert the coat into a coat in a set-to-touch state but inadequate to completely cure the coat in the step (2) and setting the integrated amount of light to an amount adequate to completely cure the coat in the step (4) for the first time.

The irradiation with an active energy ray in the step (4) is performed such that the integrated amount of light is 240 mJ/cm² or more, preferably 320 mJ/cm² or more, and more preferably 360 mJ/cm² or more from a viewpoint of completely curing the coat and adhesiveness between the first hard coat and the second hard coat. At the same time, the irradiation with an active energy ray is performed such that the integrated amount of light is 10000 mJ/cm² or less, preferably 5000 mJ/cm² or less, and more preferably 2000 mJ/cm² or less from a viewpoint of preventing yellowing of a hard coat laminated film obtained and cost.

The wet coat of the first hard coat forming coating material is preferably predried before the irradiation with an active energy ray in the step (4). Predrying described above can be performed by causing a web to pass through a drying furnace set at a temperature of about 23 to 150° C., preferably 50 to 120° C. at a line speed such that the time required to pass from the inlet to the outlet is about from 0.5 to 10 minutes and preferably from 1 to 5 minutes, for example.

When the irradiation with an active energy ray is performed in the step (4), the wet coat of the first hard coat forming coating material is favorably preheated to a temperature of 30 to 100° C., preferably 40 to 85° C., more preferably 50 to 75° C. from a viewpoint of obtaining good interlayer adhesion strength even when the first hard coat forming coating material and the second hard coat forming coating material have largely different characteristics from each other. A method for preheating described above is not particularly limited, but any method can be used. Examples thereof include a method in which a web 9 is held by a roll 8 disposed opposite to an active energy ray (ultraviolet ray) irradiator 7 as illustrated in FIG. 3 and a surface temperature of the roll is controlled to a predetermined temperature; a method in which a temperature in an irradiation furnace surrounding an active energy ray irradiator is controlled to a predetermined temperature; and a combination of these methods.

An aging treatment may be performed after the step (4). The aging treatment can stabilize characteristics of the anti-glare hard coat laminated film.

The “front face” has the same meaning as the term regarding a shaping jig in the B method defined in Paragraph 18.2 in JIS K6902:2007.

(vi) Water Contact Angle (Initial Water Contact Angle)

The water contact angle at a first hard coat surface of an anti-glare hard coat laminated film was measured by a method for calculating the water contact angle from a width and a height of a water droplet (see JIS R3257:1999) using an automatic contact angle meter “DSA20” (trade name) available from KRUSS GmbH.

(P) Transparent Resin Film

(P-1) Using an apparatus equipped with a two-kind/three-layer multimanifold-type co-extrusion T-die 12 and a winder having a mechanism for pressing a melted resin film 11 with a first mirror-finished roll 13 (i.e. a roll to hold a melted film and send the melted film to a subsequent transfer roll) and a second mirror-finished roll 14 (see FIG. 4), a two-kind/three-layer multilayer resin film in which both outer layers (α1 layer and α2 layer) were formed of a poly(meth)acrylimide “PLEXIMID TT50” (trade name) available from Evonik Industries AG and an intermediate layer (β layer) was formed of an aromatic polycarbonate “CALIBRE 301-4” (trade name) available from Sumika Styron Polycarbonate Limited was continuously co-extruded from the co-extrusion T-die 12. This co-extruded product was supplied and introduced between the rotating first mirror-finished roll 13 and second mirror-finished roll 14 such that the α1 layer was on the first mirror-finished roll side, and was pressed to obtain a transparent resin film having a total thickness of 250 μm, a layer thickness of the α1 layer of 80 μm, a layer thickness of the β layer of 90 μm, and a layer thickness of the α2 layer of 80 μm. As setting conditions at this time, a set temperature of the co-extrusion T-die 12 was 300° C., a set temperature of the first mirror-finished roll 13 was 130° C., a set temperature of the second mirror-finished roll 14 was 120° C., and a wind-up speed was 6.5 m/min

(P-2) A transparent resin film was obtained in a similar manner to the (P-1) except that an acrylic resin “Optimas7500FS” (trade name) available from Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Inc. was used in place of the “PLEXIMIDTT 50” (trade name).

(P-3) A transparent resin film was obtained in a similar manner to the (P-1) except that the layer thickness of the α1 layer, the layer thickness of the β layer, and the layer thickness of the α2 layer were changed to 60 μm, 130 μm, and 60 μm, respectively.

(P-4) A transparent resin film was obtained in a similar manner to the (P-1) except that the layer thickness of the α1 layer, the layer thickness of the β layer, and the layer thickness of the α2 layer were changed to 40 μm, 170 μm, and 40 μm, respectively.

(P-5) A biaxially stretched polyethylene terephthalate film “DIAFOIL” (trade name) available from Mitsubishi Plastics, Inc.: thickness 250 μm

(P-6) An acrylic resin film “TECHNOLLOY S001G” (trade name) available from Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd.: thickness 250 μm.

(P-7) Using an apparatus equipped with a monolayer T-die and a winder having a mechanism for pressing a melted film with a first mirror-finished roll (i.e. a roll to hold a melted film and send the melted film to a subsequent transfer roll) and a second mirror-finished roll, an aromatic polycarbonate “CALIBRE 301-4” (trade name) available from Sumika Styron Polycarbonate Limited was continuously extruded from the T-die, was supplied and introduced between the rotating first mirror-finished roll and second mirror-finished roll, and was pressed to obtain a transparent resin film having a total thickness of 250 μm. As setting conditions at this time, a set temperature of the T-die was 320° C., a set temperature of the first mirror-finished roll was 140° C., a set temperature of the second mirror-finished roll was 120° C., and a wind-up speed was 5.6 m/min

EXAMPLE 1

Both surfaces of the (P-1) were subjected to a corona discharge treatment. Both surfaces had a wetting index of 64 mN/m. Subsequently, the (H2-1) was applied onto a surface on a side of the α1 layer using a die-type applicator such that the wet thickness was 40 μm (thickness after curing 22 μm). Subsequently, the film with the wet coat of the (H2-1) was caused to pass through a drying furnace set at an inner temperature of 90° C. at a line speed such that the time required to pass from the inlet to the outlet was 1 minute. Thereafter, the preheated film was treated using a curing apparatus having a high-pressure mercury lamp type ultraviolet irradiator 7 and a mirror-finished metal roll 8 having a diameter of 25.4 cm disposed opposite to each other (see FIG. 3) under conditions of a temperature of the mirror-finished metal roll 8 of 90° C. and an integrated amount of light of 80 mJ/cm². In FIG. 3, the reference numeral 9 indicates a web, and the reference numeral 10 indicates a holding angle. The wet coat of the (H2-1) became a coat in a set-to-touch state. Subsequently, the (H1-1) was applied onto the coat of the (H2-1) in a set-to-touch state using a die-type applicator such that the wet thickness was 4 μm (thickness after curing 2 μm). Subsequently, the film with the wet coat of the (H1-1) was caused to pass through a drying furnace set at an inner temperature of 80° C. at a line speed such that the time required to pass from the inlet to the outlet was 1 minute. Thereafter, the resulting product was treated using a curing apparatus having a high-pressure mercury lamp type ultraviolet irradiator 7 and a mirror-finished metal roll 8 having a diameter of 25.4 cm disposed opposite to each other (see FIG. 3) under conditions of a temperature of the mirror-finished metal roll 8 of 60° C. and an integrated amount of light of 480 mJ/cm² to obtain a first hard coat and a second hard coat. Subsequently, a third hard coat was formed on a surface on a side of the α2 layer with the same coating material as the one used for forming the second hard coat (the (H2-1) in Example 1) using a die-type applicator such that the thickness after curing was 22 μm to obtain a hard coat laminated film. This hard coat laminated film was subjected to the above tests (i) to (xii) for measurement and evaluation of physical properties thereof. Table 6 shows results thereof.
